Bucket list food Philippines- Bucket list Philippines- The Philippines gallery

Day 1 - 2018-09-04

Today I landed in Puerto Prinsessa, Palawan. :D

Day 20 - 2018-09-23

Today we bought a new bike from Richard, it's a Boss

Day 39 - 2018-10-12

Finally we have an antenna to a globe at home Wi-Fi, so actually this is written from home 😁

We also looked at the premiere at Johnny English at the cinema, it's amazing that the price for a movie here at the cinema is just 120 PHP and in Sweden it's 120 SEK with worse quality and worse sound :/ :)

Today the bike also got its name, her name is Miles

Day 40 - 2018-10-13

We attended to what's in my mind a strange ceremony, coz if there is someone that have been dying they take the body home and have it at home for 7 days and pray for it before the will be buried, it's good that Kim doesn't want that, and neither do I.

But there have not just been sad things today, I have been cleaning up the cables from the antenna pole we have in our yard, so not it looks better, still not good but better 😛, I would want to dig every cable in the Philippines down under the ground, and as matter of fact I saw a news clip about that today on the news today when we had a pop up family dinner at Mama Chris house. Now I'm just outside on the porch enjoying a beer and listen to the other's looking at The greatest showman. And the others is Yan Yan, Bon Bon, Hero, Nica, and Kim, Jordan is asleep in the A/C room hehe.

Day 41 - 2018-10-14

Just a short trip to Tubigon to send Jessa to the ferry to Cebu.

Day 44 - 2018-10-17

This day have been all about studying.

Day 45 - 2018-10-18

We took a trip to Tubigon coz we need to buy some wire for the light we plan to mount in the fence we ordered the other day.

Day 51 - 2018-10-24

The fence is done 😁 now we just have to wait until tonight so we can see how it will look like with the lights that installed 😃

Day 110 - 2018-12-22

Today we actually pulled off the surprise for Richard, a couple of days ago we decided to book a flight for Grech and Jundave to Cebu so they could join us at Christmas. Richard had tried to do that but it was to expensive for him and I (Bo) know how it would feel about the kids coming to Christmas so I wanted to do it for him. Well we were able to make Jessa pick them up är the airport and get them to the port for the ferry. So we went almost the whole family to Tubigon to pick her up, but no one in the van knew that they were coming also. After the surprise in the van we headed to Lola's house to caroling to wake them up and the face of Lola was unpriced, continued waking up Richard was harder but in his newly awaken moment I did see he was happy even if he was to newly awake to understand it all :D

Day 112 - 2018-12-24

Christmas, but not as the normal Christmas, and that was because we decided to have the real one when Carla came to Bohol

Day 114 - 2018-12-26

Today was the Saavedra day, which included me (Bo) and Nica. We went to Tagbilaran for dinner and Cinema, but of some reason Ma got mad because it was to long wait for the cinema, what did she expect, that the cinema show the movie when she arrive? Well I did enjoy the day, even the Filipino movie that we looked at (good that it was subtitles).

Day 116 - 2018-12-28

Today was the rearranging day in Lolo and Lola's house, we did buy them a carpet for Christmas so we decided to fix that today and also clean the place so it is actually a sala even in Swedish meaning. After that wee gathered up to play UNO, and that is where I did get the real Filipino feeling of a hang out (but we had to ban the smartphones first)

Day 148 - 2019-01-29

Today we left the Philippines towards Singapore. :/

But why did it hit me now? Well I look around and I don't see any foreign people here, I mean I have left the hotel na and on my way to the province to meet ma and the rest of the family by my self coz Kim isn't here yet :( and yes it's quite nervous actually but I knkw it will be okay, coz it is as everyone says, almost all of the people here is nice to others, at least I haven't seen any difference. But also I think the family is also a lil nervous to meet me hehe //Bo
-Yeah, still at Chaikofi and two gentlemen's nust shared the table coz it's full here almost, deep into my phone I just heard the words "let's eat" and I thought he said it to his friend, but tje second later a hand try to pick my attention so when I look up he said it to me, Thank you Philippines for being so kind, Sweden have a lot to learn from this country in many way or actually maybe the world can learn a few things. //Bo

-|date48=2017-10-30
-|text48=Today we actually got a clearance for having out marriage license, we will pick it up the 10th, with that done we went to a wedding planner, I only thought she was a dress maker but she do it all if I understand it right, she also sent us to the wedding cake maker. The cake was quite easy to choose, but it's harder with the clothes ofcourse :p
-After the cake choosing we went to [[Monina]] to book for a reception but the room they offered was divided in two with a sliding glass door unless we pay per hour for a bigger room, so instead we did go to a resort that opened up just 2 days ago and that was the first guy/owner that have been happy talking about our wedding, not like the Monina guys.
+Today the bike also got its name, her name is [[Miles]]

-|text72=There have not been so much written here as I wanted to. But today we did get our marriage contract from the CR (Civil registrar) ut we have to wait dor some days before we can apply for a passport for Kim coz I guess it take some time before the PSA know the marriage have taken place (every thing takes time here coz they use typewriters instead of computers 😯)
+|text41=Just a short trip to Tubigon to send Jessa to the ferry to Cebu.
-|date73=2017-11-24
+|date44=2018-10-17

-|text82=This day was a slow day, e were at home almost all day, but we're driving to [[Tubigon]] in the afternoon coz I was going to get a haircut, but because we were so slow during the day we came there to late. So instead we bought a snaredrume for [[Nathan Lance Mozo Saavedra|Yan yan]]

+|text112=Christmas, but not as the normal Christmas, and that was because we decided to have the real one when [[Carla]] came to [[Bohol]]
-|text84=So today the Philippines disappoints us again with their slow working progress, we went to PSA to extract an original from our marriage contract, but got told that it takes between 6 to 12 months before it's registered 😲
+|date113=2018-12-25
-|date85=2017-12-07
+|date114=2018-12-26
-|text85=So we went to Tagbilaran to PSA to get them to hurry up the process of our papers, and they said yes we can email PSA in Cebu, the fun thing with this is that an email in their eyes is that they put the original (which was a copy) I an envelope, give it to us and tell us to post it and come back with the receipt with 2 photocopies. After that we need to wait for 3 weeks before we can get the original (the original is a photocopy of the copy of the original that will be scanned (I guess) into a computer and printed on a security paper (that is smaller than the Marriage contract paper) so we can have it as an original Marriage contract.... sigh the paperworks in this country is really hard to understand. And the fun thing is that the Civil registrar office doesn't know about this high-tech sending thing coz they said we can ask if we can get the original (that is the copy) and hand it over to Cebu PSA our self to hurry up the process haha. And why we will get it to Cebu I don't know coz if it will be registered into a database it will be done in Manila not in Cebu. I'll just sigh and go with the flow 😣
